Building on Outlander, GTF, et al
speaking from personal exp. If you feel like you "must" have armor...get soft armor. It resists pretty much all pistol calibers, concealable, lightweight, and super easy to slap on and off if the S magically HTF. Plus you can wear under clothes and not stand out if caught in a riot/civil unrest. That is NOT the time to be confused for Mil/LE
Plate Armor is for when you KNOW you might seriously be swapping rifle lead with people. Not a maybe or a "it MIGHT happen SOMEDAY" but like this is you, everyday, engaging active shooters.
Speed is key. A good chest rig or LBE will do way more than a PC that will sit up.
If you have money and just wanna keep protech or whoever in business; go ahead but like on my own time, I never said "Gee I need Plate Armor"
I get people wanna prepare for everything but like....to paraphrase and spin Gen. Forrest a bit "All else being equal. The Lightest with the Rightest wins"
A dude creeping with a go fast chest rig will always have initiative vs the guy turtled up in armor.
And again....if I saw a dude with a PC on, I am aiming pelvis and femur and anchoring him after creating distance.
But its your money
